Chatting to Vince Skillcorn about his coaching, and what prompted him to start putting content onto youtube 7 years ago. Vince has a huge Youtube channel (Vince Skillcorn Judo) displaying his vast knowledge of competitive judo- if you havent checked it out, its well worth it. The audio quality isnt the greatest, not sure what happened with the recording, or if it was the strength of the connection of the call. Hope everyone is well.

Talking with Chris about PED's in judo. Recorded in 2018 we chat about drugs in sport and Judo. Thought it would be good to bring it out now in light of the recent revelations about Rafaela Silva, who is facing a ban following a failed test at the pan american games (i think).

Out of date before its even out (like so many before it!) Tom Reed returns to the show, and we talk about Paris and Dusseldorf before running through our selections for the japanese team- just a day or two before the team was announced! See where we got it right, where we got it wrong and let us know what you think
